Minister receives Gas Standards Committee report

Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources John Browne was today presented with the 2003 Activity Report of the Gas Technical Standards Committee (GTSC).

Accepting the report, the Minister stated that it was particularly noteworthy that Ireland had taken a lead in setting standards for making cooking appliances safer for vulnerable users with diminished capacity and that these go beyond the essential requirements of the Gas Appliance Directive.
